so after fiddling around with my stomach, I noticed that the "bulge" of my gut seems to be coming from behind the abdominal muscles. There is a decent amount of fat over the top of the muscles, no doubt, but the huge bulge seems to be internal.

Are you sure that it's actually fat? If you have hunched shoulders and a kyphotic posture, there's a decent chance that it's your organs spilling out in your mid section because they don't have enough room in back.

You know what, my back does have a really noticeable arch. Is there anyway to confirm this?

give up booze for 6months to a year, work out atleast 3times a week and dont eat anymore than 1800-2000 calories a day (assuming you are between 5'8" and 6'2"...) and you will lose 20-30 lbs of fat. Worked for me and i didnt lose any muscle.

Stand up against a wall. If you have perfect posture your position should barely change, if you have an overly kyphotic posture, it should be obvious because your shoulders wont be against the wall. To be honest, I can just go ahead and tell you that you do have kyphotic posture like most lifters.

i have this too, i've had a pot belly my entire life. i played DI college volleyball and did serious cardio everyday, i never left a practice without my shirt 100% drenched in sweat. my gut never went away. it's not flabby at all either, when i bulge it out it's just like a hard, round ball
